Ruth 1:16-18
Contemporary English Version
16 Ruth answered,
“Please don't tell me
to leave you
and return home!
I will go where you go,
I will live where you live;
your people will be my people,
your God will be my God.
17 I will die where you die
and be buried beside you.
May the Lord punish me
if we are ever separated,
even by death!”[a]
18 When Naomi saw that Ruth had made up her mind to go with her, she stopped urging her to go back.
